Worick

Vitaliy "Worick" Brezgin (also known as Mannik) is a Russian professional Dota 2 mid laner currently competing for Zero Tenacity. A long-time grinder of the CIS and Eastern European circuit, Worick has built his career on the tier-2 and tier-3 scenes, racking up a string of tournament titles while cycling through a remarkable number of rosters.

A dedicated position-two player, he's earned a reputation as a reliable, hard-working mid who consistently wins silverware at the regional level and keeps finding his way onto competitive lineups.

Early Career

Worick broke into competitive Dota 2 around 2020–2021, cutting his teeth in the CIS mix scene with squads like Ural Gules and Family Team before catching the eye of established organisations. A brief early stint with Team Empire as their midlaner gave him his first taste of a name-brand roster.

From there he settled into the Eastern European grind, joining CIS side No Sorry in late 2021 and steadily proving himself across multiple Dota 2 Champions League and DPC League seasons.

Rise to Prominence

Worick's results started to pile up in the mid-tier scene. With HYDRA, which he joined in December 2022, he won Dota 2 Champions League Season 17 and qualified for DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1 — a genuine step up in competition.

His most productive stretch came at Night Pulse, where he became a consistent winner on the CCT Series circuit, most notably taking first place at CCT Series 7. Across his career, he's now amassed eight tournament victories — evidence of a player who knows how to close out titles at the regional level.

Journey to Zero Tenacity

If there's one defining trait to Worick's career, it's his sheer mobility — he's represented well over a dozen teams, including No Sorry, Team Unique, HYDRA, MoneyMakers, Night Pulse, AVULUS, and Team Tea, often on short notice or short-lived stints.

That well-trodden path led him to Zero Tenacity in November 2025, the Serbia-based European org, where he now anchors the mid lane on an international roster. It's one of the more stable and recognisable homes of his career and a platform to push beyond the tier-2 ceiling he's spent years dominating.

Playstyle and Reputation

Worick is a classic grinder's mid laner — adaptable, dependable, and comfortable slotting into new rosters at a moment's notice.

Key strengths include the following:

– Consistency and a proven habit of winning tier-2/tier-3 titles

– Adaptability across a huge range of teams and stacks

– Solid, fundamentals-driven solo mid-play

– Longevity and resilience through constant roster churn

Analysts tend to view him as a reliable regional-level mid whose ceiling has yet to be fully tested at tier 1 — the kind of player who keeps collecting trophies and keeps getting the call.
